Re: Difficult choice
While I agree with you 100%, if Google and/or Apple collected data via this API and it eventually leaked, the backlash would be immense. On the other hand, they can produce something like this to do the job properly while gov.uk IT projects are not only farmed out to the lowest bidder, politics keep moving the goal posts, so it's no wonder they come in late and over budget, if they even complete at all.
